What to Do After Your Workout?
Not because you’ve finished your workout routine, it means you’re already done. To make sure that you are not ruining your own efforts to get fit, there things you have to remember for your post-workout routine so you can avoid an injury during workout.
Cool down
Skipping this part after working out increases the chances of getting injured. Take time to breathe and slow down your heart rate and blood pressure until it gets back to normal. After doing a vigorous run, jog or walk slowly for a few minutes before stopping. You should also stretch out to avoid soreness of the muscles the next day.
Change clothes
No matter how comfortable you are with your gym outfit, you need to take it off right after soaking yourself in the gym. Not only you risk infections breeding in your damp clothes but also the smell of your wet undergarments might linger around if you don’t change completely after a few hours.
Eat snacks
You worked out because you want to get fit but it doesn’t mean that you don’t need to eat. Foods fuel up our bodies. A good combination of carbs and protein is enough to restore your energy and help your muscles repair themselves afterwards.
Sleep
Nothing can ever be more rewarding for your body after a routine of hardcore exercise rather than having a good night sleep. Not only because you can rest but also because during that time, our bodies began to heal and build stronger muscles for us.
